We all have an immune system, but how well is yours taking care of you? From the time before you were born your immune system was developing. The system is affected by so many factors and it is important to support it. No one wants it to turn on something in the body to make the body attack itself (auto-immune). If it happens you still need to support the system and find alternative ways to work with what is going on. I work with body energy, nutrition, and other alternative therapies to help clients with their information. What do you need or want to do about your body health. Connect and schedule: 360-207-5658.
